Jan Graham, Illustrated by Penko Gelev; from the novel by Daniel Defoe - All books by this author Graphic Classics - All books in this series Robinson Crusoe, a sailor and adventurer, is the sole survivor of a great shipwreck off the coast of a hostile island. Salvaging a few supplies from the shipwreck, Crusoe manages to build a shelter, raise food crops, fight off native cannibals, and survive for many years before he is finally rescued. The attractive and ever growing Graphic Classics series uses the graphic novel format to introduce children to many of the world's greatest literary works. The atmospheric illustrations are of unusually high quality, and the narratives are paced to attract and hold young readers' interest. In addition to the story, each Graphic Classic features a brief biography summarizing its author's life, a list of his or her important works, a time line of historic events that helped inspire the story, general notes, and an index. These books make ideal introductions to the riches of world literature to junior and senior high school students--and especially to those young readers who are hesitant to delve into the books in their original form. All Graphic Classics are available in both paperback and hardcover editions. (Ages 8 and older) (0764144510) Paperback / 48 Pages / 6 3/4 x 10 / 2011 | ||
